Cage, who voiced the character in *Into the Spider-Verse*, makes his TV debut as Ben Reilly, a 1930s private investigator forced to become The Spider. Developed by Oren Uziel and executive produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the series boasts a 91% "fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praise Cage's "gloriously pulpy performance" and the show's "dazzling, stylish blend of hard-boiled storytelling." While many laud its unique blend of noir and comic book verve, some critics found it lacked substance despite its style. All eight episodes launch Monday on MGM+ and Wednesday on Prime Video, available in both black and white and color.
